Today is my birthday, but anniversary of Bro's death |
|
so kinda bittersweet. My other brother and son are down where he died right now, pouring a beer on the ground where he died and finishing it off. Kind of a coping thing my other brother does.
He died 8 yrs ago today(some bday, huh?) but time heals a lot of things. He died riding a motorcycle, hitting a wooden fence, and going out facing the sunset. He is sorely missed. He was the perpetual hitch hiker, the guy that took incredible chances, and the funnest man on the planet to party with! I think he would say it was a full life, and was loved unconditionally.
He always knew he'd never make 30, and derned if he wasn't right. So in honor of both my brother and my 42nd bday, Im going to reflect on the past, and look forward to the future.
I have my whole family together, friends are coming out later, musical campfire entertainment, and loads of love.
Just wanted to share.

we surely will! He made us all closer, and take things less for granted for sure.
